Nerves of the Lower Limb

Overview

The nerve supply of the lower limb enables movement, sensation and postural control. This section introduces the lumbosacral plexus and its major terminal branches.

Key Structures

Articles cover the sciatic, tibial, common fibular, femoral and obturator nerves along with their sensory and motor distributions. Pathways and anatomical variations are clearly illustrated.

Clinical Relevance and Learning Focus

A detailed understanding of nerve pathways supports localisation of lesions, assessment of motor deficits and evaluation of sensory loss. The content contextualises anatomy with common neuropathies and trauma.
